10 Recent TV Shows With The Worst CGI Moments

4. The Waverider - Legends Of Tomorrow

Terra Nova
The CW

As mentioned earlier, the Arrowverse is not a wealth of CGI wizardry, and this is certainly the case for Legends of Tomorrow. The zany time travel dramedy is one of the few DC CW shows that benefitted from a tonal change, detaching from its earlier seasons' straightfaced nature and adopting a more campy, zany style.

Therefore, its lackluster CGI almost feels intentional in an appropriately odd but entertaining way. That said, the Waverider (the Legends' time/spaceship) is often an eyesore in a show full of questionably created digital sights.

The time vessel rarely blends into its surroundings (especially in wide shots where it is the focal point) and it also does not feel physically weighty whenever it is stationary or in flight. However, the ship's visual design is both sleek and battle-ready, and its distinct sound design gives it more screen presence than its less impressive visual effects.
